  • Two Recurring Themes Populate the Kingdom Hearts Series: 1. True Power Comes from Friendship and Connections with Others 2
    Two recurring themes populate the Kingdom Hearts series: 1. True power comes from friendship and connections with others 2. Women are useless The protagonist of the game is Sora, but first, background: Kingdom Hearts is the heart of all worlds and a source of immense power. It is controlled by a weapon called the x-blade (not to be confused with keyblade), which acts as its key. Long ago thousands of people used keyblades (not to be confused with the x-blade), magical weapons that can lock and unlock stuff and also have lots of other powers, to fight for control of the x-blade (not to be confused with the keyblades, which they already had). In the process the world was split into lots of different pieces which were then walled off from each other with a substance called gummi. In the less-distant past, Xehanort, a boy from Destiny Islands, escapes his tiny world and becomes a keyblade master in his own right. He learned that there are many worlds (which is supposed to be a secret) because Xehanort-from-the-present sends a version of himself back in time to tell him about it and then tells him to travel to a bunch of different places because time travel requires that a version of one’s self must be present at the time and place. More on that later. He’s friends with Eraqus and Yen Sid who are also keyblade masters, but then they aren’t friends anymore because Xehanort is evil (but later he pretends to be good).

  • Story a Day for Every Day of the Year Walt Disney Productions 桃園市106年英語比賽國小朗讀文章
    桃園市106年英語比賽國小朗讀文章 第一篇 Nest Rescue Dumbo was out with his friend Timothy Mouse when he saw smoke coming out of a cottage window. “Goodness me!” he cried. “It must be on fire!” He rushed to the window and saw an old lady kneeling by the fire. Smoke was billowing out of the chimney. “Drat it!” muttered the old lady. “Why won’t this fire burn? My sticks are nice and dry but there’s no draft.” Timothy Mouse hopped in through the window, scuttled across the floor and stared up the chimney. There was no daylight to be seen at the top—and a piece of twig fell down and hit him on the nose! Timothy scuttled back to his friend, Dumbo. “I think there’s something on the chimney,” he said, rubbing his nose. “Something twiggy.” “Twiggy…” mused Dumbo. “Aha!” With Timothy on his back, he flew up to the rooftop and found a large, untidy nest piled on top of the chimney, with a bird sitting on it. “Help!” squawked the bird, scared at the sight of Dumbo. “You do need help,” said Dumbo. “Your nest has a fire under it!” “What?” shrieked the bird. “Oh, no! My eggs will be fried!” “Slide your nest on to my back,” said Dumbo. “Timothy will help you. Then we’ll carry your eggs to a safe place.” The mother bird flew beside Dumbo, and they put the nest in a hollow tree where she settled down gratefully. The old lady was grateful too, because with the nest gone, her fire burned beautifully!

  • The Effects of Disney Princess Movies on Girls
    The Effects of Disney Princess Movies on Girls By Camille Porter-Phillips Eighth grade project research paper Hilltown Cooperative Charter Public School June 2014 1 Introduction Personally, before this project, I thought that the Disney princesses were foolish. People have been watching Disney movies for nearly 100 years and through the course of this project I realized that they are actually really foolish and my beliefs were affirmed. Since the Walt Disney company started in 1923 (Gillies), its movies have become very widespread and pervasive. My question is, have Disney princess movies affected girls? In this essay I will show that watching princess movies affects girls’ independence and body image. I will first give a background of Disney and their princesses, then show how the princess films might affect girls and then describe how to evaluate them. Background The first princess movie the Walt Disney company produced was Snow White, in 1937. It was the first animated feature film to come out of the0 U.S. (Disney). Next came Cinderella, in 1950. Then Sleeping Beauty in 1959. Thirty years later in 1989 The Little Mermaid came out. Then in 1991 Beauty and the Beast. The very next year in 1992 Aladdin came to theaters. Then Pocahontas, in 1995. But this was not the last one, more and more princess movies are produced by Disney every few years. Snow White is about a girl who runs away from an evil queen because the queen wants to kill Snow White. When she meets 12 dwarfs she is happy to cook and take care of them.

Lightning flashes to reveal Prince Charming riding his valiant steed Chauncey across the open plains. The wind blows back his golden mane. PRINCE CHARMING Onward Chauncey, to the highest room of the tallest tower! Where my princess awaits rescue from her handsome Prince Charming. Lightning cracks. Thunder booms. Charming straddles a wooden hobby horse and gallops in place. A stage hand uses a bellow to blow air into Prince Charming’s face. Another stage hand turns a crank that creates the moving background. In the orchestra, a man uses coconuts to create the sound effects of a galloping horse. Two more stage hands back stage create the cheap sound effects of thunder and lightning. A crudely constructed castle tower sits in front of a cheaply painted backdrop. The Fairytale Creatures are sitting at a table in the audience. GINGERBREAD MAN This is worse than Love Letters! I hate dinner theatre. PINOCCHIO Me too. Pinocchio’s nose grows as he is caught in the lie. Prince Charming rides to the base of the tower. PRINCE CHARMING Whoa there, Chauncey!

  • Subcultural Appropriation of Disney Normative Characters in Countercultural Performance Responses Brady Mcdonough, Communicating Arts Dr
    Subcultural Appropriation of Disney Normative Characters in Countercultural Performance Responses Brady McDonough, Communicating Arts Dr. Alison Wielgus, Department of Communicating Arts University of Wisconsin Superior Introduction Walt Disney is remembered fondly as “Uncle Walt” who re-told fairy tales in ways that were less gruesome than their originals and moved audiences to laughter and tears. Disney’s hard upbringing led to his strict personal belief system that reinforced proper behavior and a heterosexual, nuclear family structure. Fantasy was Disney’s favorite escape as a child, and he loved telling stories as an adult so much that he made it a wildly successful business. Starting in 1923 as Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, Walt Disney began with animated shorts before eventually moving into feature-length productions. The power to reach audiences comes with the ability to convey a worldview to the public. Disney used his adaptations of fairy tales from authors such as the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, and Hans Christian Anderson to entertain and teach children and adults what the perfect fantasy world could be. Disney’s versions of classic fairy tales supported a white, heterosexual, Judeo-Christian worldview known as heteronormativity. This heteronormative culture maintains a dominant status in American society called hegemony. Dominant cultures often inspire the formation of subcultures whose members do not fit the hegemonic normative culture. This paper will incorporate the work of Dick Hebdige and Judith Butler to explain subcultural creation and modes of response to hegemony, specifically through drag’s appropriation of characters. Character traits being normalized or vilified is in issue of semiotics, meaning the signs of characters and traits signify one as “good” or “evil” dependent on their performance of certain characteristics.
